Judging by the lack of interest in this thread, I might make the trip up after work tomorrow. Reckon they'll have much stock? 30 minutes for me from Bridgend, but I don't finish work till 6... Probably all gone by the time I can get there.
What time will you start queuing up do you think?
Haha yea keep this store quiet. xP
I'll be in town from about 11 or 12. If there's a queue there, I will join it. If not, I will be in Starbucks 150metres away with my MBP working
You?

Nope not till 5pm. I arrived at 2:30 and I'd say I'm about the 200th person in the que by a quick head count.

I arrived at 6:00pm and all models were out of stock except for 16gb Black Wi-fi. Needless to say I left - the queue was still long and I was disappointed not to get my hands on a White 32 or 64gb model.
I must confess to some surprise about how rapidly they ran out of stock. I knew the demand was going to be phenomenal, but surely they must have known too, and allowed for that? I can only speculate that this looks good from a marketing perspective, that they sold out in an hour... From a consumer point of view though, this is immensely annoying. Especially given that the alternative - buying via the mac store - takes 2-3 weeks...
I have no doubt it'll be a great product, but what use is that if we can't get our hands on it?
Apple make such a massive deal out of every release date but they repeatedly fail to provide for the demand. It just seems like disorganisation...

Wow! That's dedication. You must have been so bored all day! Must admit, I'm really looking forward to getting my paws on one, bit sad i've missed the opportunity for now

Got there around 2:30pm and through a quick head count could see I was about the 200th person in line. Overall when I left I could swear there had been at least 500 people there in the que. Got my 32gb wifi and case. Although no docks available at all?! What is going on there!?
